Palm pre + google wave? - Page 2

Google wave on my pre crashes. It hangs for a long long time, and then i get a google error page that says it failed and to submit what i was doing and why.

Google wave is an interesting concept but it still has a long long long way to go.

I'm almost positive that I read that GWave uses HTML 5, not Flash. Anyone know for sure the Pre's support of HTML 5?

BTW, this is basically a Linux machine. I don't think adding support for HTML 5 would be outside the capabilities of the Pre. Don't know about the browser though...

google wave uses zero flash. Its all html5, and yes the pre supports it. Webkit has html5 support in it. However pre, and google need to work on both sides to make sure it has full compatibility.

That is true, but it allows you to say I understand and continue to an iPhone specific site, with one "column" per screen. I'll try to get that URL for everyone to play with off my iPod Touch.
